The regular season ended and I have a ton of funds left over. I also have an impending free agent willing to sign for $8M/year. If I signed him for something like 3/$4M with a $20M bonus, would the $20M be applied to this or next season’s payroll? I’m looking to turn lemons (unused funds) into lemonade (a cheap contract).

oak is correct. Any money for future contracts comes from budgets for those future seasons. Nothing comes from the current season budget. In other words, the money you have left over is simply money unspent. No way to spend it unless you use it for an IFA for the current season or some other in-season expense.
